Sobre mim
Professor da italki desde 15 de Apr de 2020Minha atuação como professor
I aim to create a student-centered, communicative virtual classroom, where my student(s) are active throughout the entire class, whether conversing, listening with a goal in mind, writing, and asking/answering questions. I feel it is important to laugh and have some fun in every lesson, and welcome mistakes in order to learn and grow. If lessons aren't fun and become too burdensome for students, they might lost motivation and stop making progress toward their linguistic goals all together.Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
I have access to several textbook curriculums that I can use based on my students' needs and goals. I use visual elements like a white board, the text chat box, gestures, pictures, realia etc. to explain concepts to students in various ways. I am not afraid to stand up away from my computer and act something out, be silly, or draw pictures in order to generate understanding. I aim to create dynamic and active lessons where time passes quickly and students enjoy the learning process. I also encourage students to bring in real life language models (emails, books, articles etc.) so we can focus on what is most important to them and their lives.Certificados
